London. August 12. Twenty-three persons, including nine women and six children, were killed ,and fifty per sons were injured at South End, in Essex, forty miles east of London, by bombs dropped today by German raiders, says an official statement is sued tonight. Considerable damage to property was caused at South End by the near ly forty bombs dropped upon the town. Two men were injured at Rochford, but four bombs dropped on Margate, in Kent, did little damage. The latest statement follows: "Enemy raiders caused considerable damage at South End where the dropped about forty bombs. The cas ualties thus far reported are: "Killed, eight men, nine women; six children. About fifty people were injured. "At Rochford, two men were injur ed, but no damage is reported. At Margate four bombs were drop ped. One uninhaoited house was de molished, but there were no casual ties." EARLY REPORT SAYS ABOUT TWENTY PLANES TOOK PART London, August 12. About twenty German airplanes raided the southeast coast of England this evening. An .official statement says that some bombs were dropped in the neighbor hood of Southland, forty miles east of London, and on the seashore resort of Margate, eighty miles southeast of the capital. No report of damage or casualties have yet been received. British avia tors pursued the raiders out to sea. The text of the official statement says "About 5:15 o'clock this afternoon a squadron of about 20 enemy air planes were reported off Felixstowe (in Suffolk). They skirted the coast to Clacton, (Essex), where they ap parently divided, a part going south to Margate (in Kent). The remain der crossed the coast and went south east towards Wickford, irear which .place they turned southeast and drop ped bombs in the neighborhood of South End (in Essex). Some bombs ilso were dropped on Margate. "No reports of damage or casual ty have yet been received. Our own aircraft were very quickly in the air and they pursued the enemy out to sea." PLAN FOR CONTROLLING BREAD SUPPLY IS MADE PUBLIC (Continued From Page One), agents instead of in the normal course of commerce. Therefore, the export price of wheat and flour, and thus the real price, if not controlled, will be subject to almost a single will of the foreign purchaser. ? "3. In normal times, American wheat moves largely to Europe in the fall months. This year, the shortage of shipping necessitates its distribu tion over the entire year. Therefore, there is danger of a glut in our ware house system over a considerable pe riod. "4. There are large stocks of wheat which can not be drawn upon by the allies during the war, but in the ev ent of peace or defeat of the sub marines, these would be available and might seriously demoralize the de mand for American wheat. "5. It must be clearly understood that the guaranteed minimum price of $2.00 per bushel for wheat, set out in the food bill, does not apply to the 1917 harvest, but . only to the 191S harvest, and then under conditions which must be elaborated. There Is. therefore, no determined price for the 1917 harvest. Normal Conditions Broken. "The result of this situation is that the normal price -making machinery is entirely broken down unless some efficient government action is brought into play either (a) the American pro ducer may face a slump In wheat, possibly below his production cost, and (b) the export price of wheat which utimately determines the real price, is at the will of a single agency, (c) Some one must buy the surplus wheat at any given moment and if , the surplus passes iixto speculative hands it will be held for higher prices later in the year, (d) With stabiliz ed prices, extra hazards are introduc ed into all distribution links which must be paid for by the consumer. It must be evident that the United States government can more Justly deal with the situation than any of the agencies mentioned. "Therefore, tne food administration has determined to take the following course: Licenses Required. "First: In order to eliminate specu lation in wheat and flour, all eleva tors and mills over 100 barrels daily capacity will be required to take out a government license and thecondi tions of this license to be: "That only reasonable and custom ary charges shall be made for ware house service; that no wheat shall be stored for more than 30 days without the approval of the food administra tion; that certain information as to receipts and shipments shall be sup - plied regularly. The grain exchanges are being asked to suspend all deal ings and quotations in future wheat. These regulations will come into force September 1 and the licenses will be prepared " this week. "While farmer's co-operative ele vators are expected by the food bill, this however, only applies to mutual concerns and jiot to stock companies, and in any event under the advan tages of joining the plan, none are likely to stand out. To Open Buying Agencies. "In substitution of the broken-down marketing machinery, the food admin istration proposes to open agencies for the purchase of all wheat at the principal terminals, carrying on its transactions with the . usual dealers and is prepared to take the whole harvest if necessary In order to main tain a fair price, and will re-sell wheat for export in such quantities as we can afford to part with In protection of our own people on one hand an3 ? to sell on the other to the millers for domestic consumption. The adminis Children's Dnce Tonight. at Lumina. Regular dance f Qllows. tration will make no charge except a nominal percentage to cover costs of the operation and arrangements will be made which will assure the gov- t ernment against loss. "In order that nothing shall be lett to mischarge we are setting up a properly constituted and independent auditing committee, which will check all transactions at every point. . To Determine Fair Price. "The food administration under these arrangements would have a large influence in effecting the price of wheat. With a viw of determining a fair price,' the President has ap proved the appointment of a commit tee to be selected from representatives of the producing sections and consum ing elements in community. This com mitte will be assembled under the chairmanship of President Garf Id of Williams College, and it .will be the duty .of this committee to determine a fair price for the 1917 harvest. Upon the determination of this fair basis, it j is the intention of the food adminis tration to use every authority to effect the universality of this fair basis throughout . the whole of the 1917 harvest year without change or fluc tuation. It should thus be clear that it will not be to the advantage of any producer to hold back his grain in anticipation of further advance, for he will do so only at his own cost of storage and interest, and if it is .nec essary for the government to buy the entire wheat harvest in order to main tain this fair price in protection of the producer, we intend to do so. Holding; Is Illegal. "Furthermore, the holding of wheat or flour contracts by persons not en gaged in the trade, and even when in trade, in larger quantities than is nec essary for the ordinary course of their business, is unlawful under the act, and such cases will be prosecuted with vigor. And we would advise such holders to liquidate their contracts at once. "By the above arrangement, we be lieve that we shall stabilize the price of wheat throughout the year, that the hazards of operation due to fluctuating prices which are imposed upon our milling and distributing community will be eliminated and therefore their business can return to the normal lines and the normal margins of prof its and that we shall not only have stabilized the price of wheat; but sta bilized the price of flour, and that it should enable Us to arrive at a sta bilized price of bread. Millers Co-operating. "The food administration has had the patriotic co-operation of the leading millers of the country and these millers millers have organized, at the request of the food administration, a, commit tee to represent the entire trade. De tailed proposals for an agreed differ enial of profit and expenses per barrel of flour and per ton of feed, are under discussion. Under this arrangement the public will be assured an equitable and stabilized price of hour based upon the cost of raw material and we confiden tially expect the volunteer arrangement with the mills will give satisfaction to the public. "The universal endeavor over the country to reduce consumption of wheat breadstuffs in order that we may have the requisite exports with which to carry the allies over the forthcoming winter, will result in a largely increas ed amount of wheat available for ex port. If it were exported as wheat it would result in diminution of em ployment in our mills and of equal im portance, curtailment of supply of mill feed for our dairy cattle. Therefore, the. food administration will stipulate for a large proportion of export of flour instead of wheat and as the ex port orders for flour will be given sub ject to the approval of the food ad ministration, those mills who co-operate with the adminis'traion will be given the benefit of the exports em ployment. By thus encouraging the home production of flour the manufac turing cost will be reduced and there fore, the American public will receive indirect benefit in lowered margins of cost in distribution. "In accordance with the policy of the administration to co-operate with all trades, we are this week also dis cussing details of voluntary arrange ments with the flour distributors by which a good maximum of differentials may be effected in the wholesale trade. Cost of Baking Investigated. "An exhaustive investigation is be ing made into the cost of baking and bread distribution and active discus sions are being cardied on with the Bakers' War Emergency Committee as plans for the elimination of waste in the industry and the production of a standard loaf. "It is impossible to anticipate the price to be enunciated by the 'fair price committee' under Dr. Garfield, J and it will probably require two or three weeks in its determination. "The names of the committeee are being submitted to the President and will be early announced. "The basis of determination will be to arrive at a price which represents a fair return to the producer for his patriotic endeavor to increase the sup ply and a proper reduction of the cost of flour to the consumer. "It must be evident to all thinking persons that unless the price of wheat, flour and bread can be materially re duced, we can not expect to maintain the present wage scale of the country and that we must in this social re-adjustment, lose efficiency at a time when we can afford no such sacrifice." TWO FACE CHARGE OF HIGH TREASON (Continued From Page One.) Indictments in six counts were re turned against McCoy and Phipps at the June term of the United States court at Roanoke and the hearing to morrow will be before Judge Henry C. McDowell. Every precaution haq been taken by the authorities to sup press any outbreak of the friends of the accused when the trial opens. While opposition to conscription fig ures in the plot alleged to have been fomented by McCoy, socialistic idioms are said to have been the basic princi ple involved, "the declaration of war" which officials say was issued by the leaders of the clan declaring-"that the country is ours and all therein." The oath administered to the recruits ,it is charged, pledged among other things that the signer would "submit to the separation of his head from his body" before violating the oath. McCoy is a member of a family made famous by the Hatfield-McCoy feuds of some twenty years ago, while Phipps is said to be a typical mountaineer. FLANDERS BATTLE AGAIN HAMPERED (Continued From Page One.) had captured on the nigh't of August 9-10 north of St. Quentin. The French official statement issued this afternoon said the ground previously lost was reconquered in its entirety. South of Ailles, in the Aisne region, two strong German attacks on the trenches capured earlier by the French were repulsed with heavy Teuton losses. There were no infantry . actions on the French front, in Belgium. GUILFORD GREYS' MASCOTS JameB .Mcllwalne, Private, and "Ball' Are Oft to the Wars 3everar Tears at Departure. The Greensboro News yesterday, anent the departure of the Guilford Grays for Fort Caswell, who duly ar rived at Wilmington and voyaged down the Cape Fear, carried the fol lowing: "James Mcllwaine, private, very pri vate indeed, left yesterday for the wars in Flanders and other furrin' parts. James is a pickaninny about so high, and not a bit older than tha:. He adopted the Guilford Grays and he left town when the .Grays left town. He left unbeknownst, as it were and the fact that he was among those pres ent was not learned until the train with the soldiers reached Sanford. Then a small black person was drag ged out of a water closet and exposed to general view. '"I want to go to Fort Caswell,' de clared James, 'and to France. Ikin kill as many Germans as anybody.' "James is better known as Snowball, being so named on account of his com plexion. He is in private life a deliv ery boy for the merchants' delivery, but since the declaration he has been a dog of war. That described hini rather aptly, for it is in something like the same role filled by the big white bull dog which one of the boys of the Grays carried away as a mascot, that Snowball has occupied during the nearly three weeks of the mobilization here of the company. He took great interest and pride and a marked degree of pride in the company and was tol erated and finally taken on as a sort of assistant mascot to the bull dog. "But the Bull went away in the train with his squat, crooked legs firmly planted and his body atop of them in the company depart. H was not full view of the 3.000 folks who saw sneaking in his method of leaving with the men. He was present and account, ed for. 'Tis true that the top sergeant didn't have the Bull on his roster, bu: everybody knew he was along, and the mess sergeant had made full allow ance for his presence. "But this other one this assistant mascot no one "was prepared for him. He must be left behind. But Snowball didn't think so, and in some manner he concealed his small, black person aboard the train and when he was found the company decided that the best thing to do was to take Snowball along and adopt him as a fellow mas cot of the Bull. So he has gone to Caswell, whether he ever reaches France of his dreams or not. "That Is but one incident to the de parture of the crack artillery company which makes Greensboro headquarters. There were other incidnts of keen hu man interest. A few tears were shed at th depot, some openly where all might see, and many more from as deep fel ing, quietly and unobtrusively. Women were there and men. The people crowd ed about the train in great fashion end gave the company a rousing send-off. When it was about all over, one bright faced soldier lifted his hat and cried out gaily: '"Ladies in gentle-men: In be-half of the manage-ment, I thank you, one and all, for your attention, and say goodbye.' " The Charlotte artillerymen also had mascots in the shape of a handsome William goat and a fox terrier, the goat leading with the captain and the terrier marching wth the cook. The goat attracted vast attention, because it wore a wrist watch on is ankle. The Signers explained that the goat was symbolic of their "getting" qualities, to be demonstrated when they reach the kaiser's domains. Both companies are now" in training at the Fort. WINS VICTORIA CROSS. Captain Bishop Gets Valued Prize for Valor in The Air. London, August 13. The intrepidi ty of Captain William Bishop, a Ca nadian and a member of the Royal Flying Corps, in attacking a German airdrome singlehanded, has been re warded by the bestowal upon him of the Victoria Cross, the most prized of the British valor medals. The offi cial Gazette gives the following re sume of the action that brought Cap tain B'sbop the Victoria Cross: "Cap tain Bishop flew first to an enemy airdrome. Finding no enemy sh'p about he flew to another tirdrome three miles distant and about 12 miles ;nidi tut- German lines. Sev en machines, some with their engines running, were on the ground. He at tacked these from a height of 50 feet, killing one of the mechanics. "One of the machines got off the ground but Captain Bishop, at a height of 60 feet fired fifteen rounds into it at close range and It crashed to the ground. A second machine got off the ground, into which he flred thirty rounds at 150 yards. It fell into a tree. Two more machines arose from the airdrome, one of which he engaged at a height of 1,000 feet, sending it crashing to the ground. He then emptied a whole drum of car tridges into the fourth hostile machine and flew back to his station. "Four hostile scouts were 1,000 feet above him for a mile during his re turn journey, but they would not at tack. His machine was badly shot about by machine gun Are from the ground." . WONDER WHERE NEXT DAY'S CASH WILL COME FROM Mexican Treaimry Officials Face Big Problem in Paying: Bill". New York, August 12. Conditions m Mexico make it problematical where the next days cash to run the govern ment is to come from, according to a statement issued here today by Henry Bruere, former chamberlain of New York City, just returned from Mexico, where he has been serving as financial and administrative adviser of the gov ernment, reorganizing the country's financial system. "The military and the unsettled con ditions of the country are making the treasury officials wonder where the next day's cash is to come from," he sid, "for 1917-1918, military expendi ture alone is estimated at 127,000,000 pesos. The total expenditure of tho government in 1912-13 the year of Ma dero's administration, was 110,000,000 pesos. "Congress has authorized the Presi dent to borrow 150,000,000 pesos but ft is not specified how or where." Son of Mr. Tienken Dead. William G. F.

BAYONETS AND CLUBS BROUGHT INTO PLAY (Continued From Page One.) as club's. In the northwest portion of -fhe wood, however, they made such a determined stand that the enemy was unable to continue his advance and the British retained possession of it. The j German losses were exceedingly heavy, being greatly in excess of the British casualties. The West Hoek ridge position which the British tookon Friday morning has been held against numerous German counter attacks and he line now ex tends along the forward crest of the ridge wih its left on the Ypres-Roul-ers railway and with the right merg ing into the Glencorse wood. German prisoners say that they were taken by surprise in Friday's offensive and that the British were upon them before they were aware that an attack was impending. The fighting along the ridge and in the Glencorse wood on Friday was most bitter and sanguinary, a large part of ridge being taken with the bayonet. Heavy casualties were inflicted on the defenders. At one strongly defencd point the Germans withstood the Brit ish for three hours wih machine gun fire and then the position was rushed by the attackers, the Germans being forced out. Glencorse wood also was filled with machine guns and the Queen's and Bedfords, who finally captured it, had to fight their way through a veritable hail of lead. AMERICAN DECISION MEETS WITH FAVOR IN NORWAY Press Sees Advantage In Having; Ship, ping Under American Flag:. Christiania, Norway, August 122. The decision of the United States gov ernment to take over ships under con struction in America nyards elicits fa vorable comment in the Norwegian press. The newspapers agree that it is to Norway's interest if the tonnage is used under the American flag be cause the taxation then is more favor able than under the Norwegian flag. For this reason several Norwegian ships already have been transferred to American registry. Norwegian concerns also are estab lishing branches in the United States and incorporating them there with Americans as directors, and it is ex pected some of these firms will be given the management of newly built Norwegian ships. . .
